Poor Owen had a touch of a tummy bug this weekend that was going around school. But, you would have never known he was sick unless you saw him vomit. He would vomit on the go, and be perfectly happy to be doing it. He never missed a beat. Then Saturday night he got a high fever. Fun. Now that is finally gone, and I think everyone is OK now.
Halloween was fun, although we didn't have as many Trick-or-Treaters as we wanted, or as many as we prepared for, so now we are stuck with tons of candy. We need to get rid of it so we don't eat it. We didn't do the Trick-or-Treating thing this year as we think Owen is too young to start that yet (plus he was under the weather). But we did get in costume and hand out candy, and then have a couple friends over for a scary movie later that night.
The day of Halloween and the day before, were spent watching our classic Halloween movies/shows. Hocus Pocus is great...we watch it EVERY year and we love it in all of it's cheesy glory. We also watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown", and of course one of the best episodes of How I Met Your Mother - the "Slutty Pumpkin" episode. (no, it is not dirty, it is funny)
Now it is November and the Halloween decor will be put away. We got this great inflatable on clearance for our front yard that was a huge hit...everyone that came to our house to get candy stopped and took pictures with it. We will definitely put it up again next year. As I am sure everyone knows, October through December is my favorite time of year...and now I can add January to that because Owen's birthday is the end of January. (can I just take a second to address the fact that he will be a YEAR old in 82 days???)
I was talking to my sister-in-law earlier, and she reminded me that I need to update my blog and that my sister is out blogging me these days. Well, I cannot let that happen. Thanks for the reminder Wendy. As we were talking, we realized that her son Will (Owen's cousin who is 2 1/2 months old) is almost as big as Owen. :-) Granted, Owen is a tiny boy. A "petite flower" as my sister calls him. So really, it is not difficult for any baby to beat Owen in weight. :-) But, Will sure is cute with his chubby cheeks...We can't wait to meet him at Thanksgiving. (Owen actually has TWO cousins named Will. Will Tidmore, and Will Laurence. Will L. was born in August, so he will be known as Will #1, and Will T. was born in September, so he will be known as Will #2.)
We met Will #2 when we went to Abilene for ACU's homecoming 2 weekends ago. He is still tiny as he is only a month and a half old. But, he is cute nonetheless.
Alright, now for the main attraction...PICTURES! And there are many.

Just a cute one.
He LOVES to chew on his socks.
I was a nurse or doctor. Take your pick. I wore scrubs.
